Bonnie was an accomplished pianist and organist, and seamstress, and was learning to play the harp. She put herself through college racing sports cars and raised a wonderful family. After her divorce, Bonnie served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Frankfurt Germany Mission where she met and later adopted her daughter Gisela. Bonnie also loved to do all kinds of needlework. She owned 2 stores in Greeley, Colorado and taught spinning, weaving, quilting, knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and many other needle crafts.

She worked as accountant and executive assistant for several companies in Salt Lake City, including Eye Care 4 Kids, and for a short time for Larry H. Miller Chevrolet, after which she reluctantly retired to her home in Farmington, Utah where she continued to do the many things she loved until the time of her passing.

She was well loved by all who knew her and will be sorely missed by all that had come to know and love her, but most of all by her surviving family.
